Our challenge
Crafting a brand-centric marketing campaign

With limited prior focus on extensive branding, Cashfree Payments faced the challenge of establishing a strong market presence. The campaign needed to resonate with young entrepreneurs, D2C companies, and startups—demographics that form the backbone of modern business innovations and are pivotal in driving forward the fintech landscape.

Work done
Debut campaign "Yeh Mera Idea Tha"

Campaign concept

Understanding the essence of the startup culture in India, we designed the campaign around the universal sentiment of missed opportunities captured in the phrase, “Yeh Mera Idea Tha.” This concept struck a chord with anyone who had seen a business flourish from an idea they once had but did not pursue.

Execution and creative strategy

We rolled out a series of three engaging videos featuring popular actors Naveen Kasturia and Badri Chavan from The Viral Fever, tapping into their strong connection with the youth. The videos effectively communicated the importance of having a reliable payment solutions partner like Cashfree Payments to transform an idea into a successful business venture.

Media and promotional activities

The campaign leveraged multiple platforms for a wide-reaching impact, including press releases, social media, and third-party site promotions. The engaging content was distributed across digital channels like DV360 and OTT platforms such as Hotstar and Spotify, resulting in significant viewer engagement and interaction.
